Answer:
Destructive distillation. A process by which organic substances such as wood,coal, and oil shale are broken down by heat in the absence of air. This causes them to break down into solids, liquids, and gases, which are then used to make products such as coke, charcoal, oils, and ammonia.

Answer:
Explanation:
When you distill coal, wood or any other material you want to get something out of it, but this material will react with the oxygen in the air, you just remove the oxygen. That's why coal distillation is done under limited presence of oxygen. ... That's why the coal being destructively distilled does not burn.
